Summary
Justice Brett Kavanaugh denied Missouri’s emergency appeal without explanation, allowing the state Supreme Court’s decision to remain in effect. The Missouri Supreme Court had blocked the state’s revised Republican-backed congressional map, citing a voter-backed referendum that suspended the law. The ruling means Missouri will use its 2022 districts for the November general election. Kavanaugh acted alone and did not send the case to the full Supreme Court.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Kavanaugh denied the appeal without comment.
The state court’s ruling remains in place.
Missouri will use old districts for the election.
The process feels like a routine delay.
